Largely instrumental, these recordings showcased the guitarist's virtuosity, while offering what could have easily been the sequel to Hot Rats, had it ever been released.
Key Points:
- Largely instrumental, these recordings showcased the guitarist's virtuosity, while offering what could have easily been the sequel to Hot Rats, had it ever been released.
- Flo & Eddie would join the Mothers for Zappa's Chunga's Revenge album, recorded mostly that summer and released in October of that year.
- By the end of 1970, Zappa was well into writing and developing his film, "200 Motels" and the accompanying soundtrack.
- It's a head-scratcher for sure, but it does make sense as Frank was embracing audio technology as soon as it became available."
